Smiley Face

from Attachment by Manzo

/

lyrics

I’m impatient no time wasting
Slow pace drives me crazy
Tappin’ fingers maybe impolite
It don’t mean I run red lights
Method to this a state of mind
Distracts from the daily grind
Listen to me I got good cause
Factory job that’s all there was
Time ticked by and years added up
Working on the line just had enough
No regrets, no doubt, in decline
I would have sold out

See my smiley face and it ain’t fake
Frowns locked down I’ve come of age
Rocking sounds make my day
Positivity rules here now

Celebrating unrepentant
Or defending who we are
Philistines they take a swipe
Don’t know why but they think they’re right
The Lord provides so just have faith
Said this guy with a real sad face
In the past red rag to a bull
Took a breath I kept my cool
The Lord helps those who help themselves
So what’s your excuse pray tell?
Know your place said the rule maker
Spin on this said the rule breaker

See my smiley face and it ain’t fake
Frowns locked down I’ve come of age
Rocking sounds make my day
Positivity rules here now

Agitator by nature never give up
Keep chanting peace and love
Having fun never out of sight
And I’m all geared up to enjoy this life
Waiting for rescue wastes your life
Standing in line for some white knight
Rich tea biscuits day TV
It would surely be the end of me
Dusting and polishing the mirror every day
Watching my whiskers turning grey
Hop on a train take a flight
Got a green light doing nothing’s not right

See my smiley face and it ain’t fake
Frowns locked down I’ve come of age
Rocking sounds make my day
Positivity rules here now
